noteworthy Durham Co. shorebirds 30 May 03



Birders,

At lunch today I birded the wastewater facility in the SW corner of Durham
Co., NC and found some noteworthy birds for late May!

1  Semipalmated Plover -- rare here in late May
1  Spotted Sandpiper -- possibly the latest spring record ever for this
area
1  Least Sandpiper -- again, possibly the latest spring record ever for
this area

If only every birding trip yielded surprises like this :-)

Good birding,

Jeff
